Seeing that Chen Zizhou didn't take the 20,000 yuan, the middle-aged fat man asked slightly in surprise: "Little brother, why don't you take the money? Aren't you worried that we are cheating and taking your pot of possibly famous cold orchid for nothing?"
Chen Zizhou chuckled: "It's not that I'm not worried, but from the looks of you, you don't look like a liar, and you are trying to fulfill the old man's wish. I believe that a filial person like you will not deceive a poor man like me.
Besides, if it wasn’t a famous product, I would have taken the 20,000 yuan in vain. Not only would I feel uneasy, but it would also be a drop in the bucket for road construction.”
After saying that, Chen Zizhou handed the orchid to the middle-aged fat man's hand.
The fat middle-aged man took it, looked at it, smiled happily, handed it to the tall and thin man and said, "Put it in the car. Write a phone number to the little brother."
Chen Zizhou took a piece of paper with his name and phone number written on it, waved to the fat middle-aged man, started the car and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the middle-aged fat man who had already sat in the car shouted to him as if he remembered something: "Little brother, I almost forgot to ask, what is your name?"
Chen Zizhou turned around and smiled: "Boss, my name is not important. You should go back and take care of the old man. I will call you in a few days." With that, Chen Zizhou rode his motorcycle back to the village quickly.
Looking at Chen Zizhou's disappearing figure, the middle-aged fat man smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a chance encounter. This young man is quite good. A small village official dares to raise money to build roads. Haha, Xiao Zhong, go back.
, let the elderly see the orchids in their hometown at a glance."
Hey, Xiao Zhong agreed, started the car, turned around and sped off towards the national highway.
After the SUV ran out of the town, the two men who had been hiding in the car beside the bridge got out of the car. One of them, who looked like an official, looked at the direction in which the SUV disappeared and murmured to himself in shock: "What on earth is going on here?"
?Did Chen Zizhou come down here to get gold plating?"
The driver-looking guy next to him also said, "Yes, Secretary Zhou, judging from the deep conversation they had just now, their relationship is not simple. They even asked Chen Zizhou for something."
It turned out to be Zhou Wenping from Chunjiang Town. His driver, Xiao Zhang, had just been having breakfast at a restaurant in the town. His sharp eyes saw the off-road vehicle and hurried to report to Zhou Wenping. The two of them secretly came to the bridge to observe.
At this moment, Zhou Wenping thought solemnly and waved his hand: "Ignore it for now. Go back and find someone to check."
Chen Zizhou hurried back to the village. When he arrived at the east end of the village, he met a young postman delivering letters. He was getting off his motorcycle and looking around as if he was looking for someone.
When the postman saw Chen Zizhou coming, he waved the letter and shouted to Chen Zizhou: "Hey, brother, there is a courier from Liu Haiyan in your village. I don't know which company it is from? Please point it out to me."
Oh, Chen Zizhou looked suspiciously, who else would deliver the goods to Liu Haiyan? Could it be her brothers and sisters? He nodded and said, "Okay, come with me, right in front."
But when they arrived at Liu Haiyan's house, the door was locked. Chen Zizhou said to the postman: "Maybe he went up to the mountain to dig for braised pork. I am the assistant to the head of this village. Otherwise, I can help her collect it."
"Okay, please sign your name," the postman handed the courier to Chen Zizhou.
Back to Xiaolan's house, Xiaolan was not at home either. She probably went up the mountain with Ling'er to help Uncle Dewang. Chen Zizhou called Teng Zifeng and told him about Lanhua. Teng Zifeng was so angry that he called him a fool and asked him to find it later.
The same orchid should be given to him no matter what.
Chen Zizhou sat on the bench and picked up the express delivery curiously. When he saw that the sender was the Youzhou County Public Security Bureau, he couldn't help but be surprised.
This is definitely not written by a relative. It was sent by the County Public Security Bureau. Could it be related to her man? His man has been missing for seven or eight years. Maybe it is really related to her man. Thinking of this, Chen Zizhou's heart skipped a beat.
I had an ominous premonition.
Chen Zizhou walked towards the mountain. After a while, he found Xiaolan and Ling'er. As expected, the two sisters were helping Uncle Dewang dig red sweet potatoes!
When Xiaolan turned around and saw Chen Zizhou, she ran over to him in surprise and held his hand: "Brother Eng, why are you back again? Aren't you going to the city?"
Chen Zizhou didn't expect this girl to be so courageous and dare to be so intimate with so many people. It seems that she really regards him as her man. However, this feeling is quite good. He chuckled and said: "I gave the orchid to someone else, temporarily.
If you don’t want to go, it’s better to go home and stay with my sister Xiaolan.”
Xiaolan's face turned red when she heard this, but she felt happy in her heart. She pulled him into the field and said, "Brother Eng, you have a little fun. Ling'er and I will go home and cook after we finish packing these sweet potatoes."
Ling'er has been secretly paying attention to the two of them. She originally wanted to talk to Chen Zizhou, but since Xiaolan bumped into her that day, she felt a little embarrassed towards Xiaolan. Now seeing Xiaolan and Chen Zizhou so affectionate,
He didn't dare to speak and secretly glanced at Chen Zizhou, full of jealousy.
Chen Zizhou looked at the two sisters. Xiaolan was happy and Linger was jealous. But now it was obvious that Xiaolan was no longer angry with Linger and seemed to agree with Linger and himself. Chen Zizhou smiled happily in his heart.
After helping the sisters carry the sweet potatoes home, after dinner, Chen Zizhou exchanged a few words with Xiaolan and then walked to Liu Haiyan's house with the express delivery.
Liu Haiyan and her children were having dinner. Che Hongmei, a girl in the first grade of primary school, was very sensible. When Yuanyuan saw Chen Zizhou, she went back to the house and told her mother: "Mom, Uncle Chen is here."
Chen Zizhou walked into the courtyard, and Liu Haiyan greeted him with a smile: "Brother, come and have dinner."
Every time Chen Zizhou came to Liu Haiyan's house, he felt like a family. Except for the happy male and female sports, hugging and kissing with Liu Haiyan, they did it naturally. At this moment, as he walked into the house, he
Said: "Sister Haiyan, I have eaten and I am not free during this period. I will come to see you tonight."
Liu Haiyan immediately blushed and said, "Then sit down."
After Liu Haiyan finished eating, Chen Zizhou asked her to put the child away, then sat down face to face, took out the express delivery, looked at her puzzled face, and said comfortingly: "Sister Haiyan, the county public security bureau has sent it to you.
If you receive a letter, it may not be good news, so you should be mentally prepared first."
Liu Haiyan's face turned pale. She immediately realized what was about to happen, and grabbed the express with trembling hands: "Give it to me!" She opened the express in a panic, and it turned out to be a notice. She stared at it closely.
He froze dumbly, his face suddenly turned pale, and a line of tears rolled down his face. After a while, he burst into tears!
Chen Zizhou picked up a notice that fell on the ground and saw that it was as expected. Liu Haiyan's man, Che Zhenglin, disappeared while digging coal in Yunnan. His rotting bones were only found recently. He had been cremated and sent to the county public security bureau. Please
Liu Haiyan went to the County Public Security Bureau to collect the ashes for burial.
